The Bored Immortal

"Charity?? Since you know who I am, then you must also know that I can pay you enough to even buy a luxury bag or something," Tiana said confidently, not bothering to even dry her hair or clothes. She just had to get to the bottom of this.

Vanessa briefly looked at her watch, put down her book, and got up as she stood before Tiana, her height only an inch or so above hers. And with a raised eyebrow, she asked, "Do you think I look like I need a luxury bag? Anyway, I don't need money or anything from you. I have to go now."

"Wait! Everybody needs something in this world. I don't believe you are a saint who has no wishes or desires. At least tell me what you want, then I will see if I can give it to you. And if you agree, I will also call you as my little sister," Tiana said with crossed arms as if she was willing to do her an extra favor.

"Little sister?" Vanessa had a slightly confused expression as she turned her neck around to look at her, wondering what made this bratty girl call her 'little sister'.

Tiana parted her wet golden-red wet hair to the side as she said, "I looked at your birthdate on your ID card on the table when I saw your name. You are a few months younger than me. So technically, I am older than you."

Vanessa couldn't help but facepalm lightly but felt a bit strange hearing her say that. Still, she said, "Even if I desire or want something, you can't give it to me. So it is better if you give up."

Tiana's slender brows furrowed, not understanding what this girl meant by saying that she could not give what she wanted. What in the world could it possibly be for her to be unable to obtain it?

"Come on. Don't be such a bore. It wouldn't hurt you to teach me something, right?" Tiana stomped her legs in frustration, wondering why this girl was so stuck up. Just because she knew how to take down punks doesn't mean she could just look down on her, can she?

Vanessa shook her head as she slowly turned around and walked towards the door to go out.

"Take this!" Tiana shouted as she suddenly ran towards her and raised her fist to punch Vanessa on the head.

Vanessa sidestepped and casually caught her wrist before twisting her around and pinning her to the wall, her cheek pressing against it, "What do you think you are doing?" She asked with an icy look while wondering if this girl got crazy enough to attack her from behind?

"So that's how you grab and trap someone who was going to attack you from behind? Hmm, your methods are quite fast and efficient," Tiana mumbled to herself, not the least bothered by the fact that her arm was twisted towards the back with her face planted to the wall.

"What craziness are you mumbling about?" Vanessa's brows pulled together, and she wondered if this girl really lost some brain cells after hitting her head in the bathroom.

But then she realized that Tiana's stupid plan was to keep attacking her and learn her moves without her voluntarily teaching her.

"What? Since you won't teach me, I will just attack you, and you will be forced to deal with me. I will just learn that way since you seem too hoity-toity to teach me, hmph," Tiana said with a proud scoff as if she was proud to find a way to make Vanessa teach her moves to her.

"You really need your head checked out. Do you think I won't break your bones next time you attack me?" Vanessa asked as she applied a bit more force on Tiana's body.

"Lil sis, you would…do that to your big sis?" Tiana asked in a chiding tone as if she was chiding her little sister.

For the first time, Tiana met a person whom she couldn't buy using either her status or money and someone who didn't even seem to care about her background.

So after accepting her mother's advice, she decided to take the initiative herself and even gather some courage to deal with a person like Vanessa who didn't seem to know fear.

Vanessa couldn't believe how thick-skinned this girl was. Even the lollipop in her mouth fell out of her mouth as she momentarily parted her lips in bafflement and asked as she put up an angry tone, "W-Who's your Lil sis? You are even more shameless than someone I know," Vanessa wanted to get angry and teach this girl a lesson for calling her like that, but for some reason, she just couldn't. Even her hold on Tiana loosened a bit unconsciously.

"Lil sis, you are being too cold by saying that. But I am not going to give up no matter how many times I have to attack you until you teach me. And as I said, I will owe you a favor if you help me out. We are roommates already now, so you will be seeing me every day."

"Ughh, fine!" Vanessa had no idea why she was going along with her stupidity but agreed since she didn't want this girl pestering her all the time by attacking her from nowhere. It wasn't as if she could get rid of her, could she?

Tiana's brows widened in surprise, not expecting Vanessa to really agree to her. This was the first time she took some effort to get something done on her own, and it felt more satisfying than making others do things for her.

"But…it will be on my own terms. So you can't annoy me whenever you want. Otherwise, I will—"

"Shove my head into a toilet? No, no. You can't do that to your big sis. As your big sis, you have to learn to be lenient with me even if I annoy you," Tiana said with crossed arms and continued when she noticed that Vanessa was about to get pissed at her, "But…I agree with your terms. I won't disturb you unnecessarily."

"Good! Now move out of the way, little princess. I have a job to do," Vanessa said in a piqued tone as she took her cap and left out the door.

"It's big sis!" Tiana called out from behind with a pleased smile, patting herself inwardly for getting Vanessa to agree.
